Urban Cultivation I am a legend

Chapter 258 People are stupid and have more money
"Junhao, you are so kind to me."

Ye Yong hugged Guo Junhao's neck and kissed him on the cheek.

"By the way, Junhao, what if someone also takes a fancy to this jade gourd?"

Ye Yong hugged Guo Junhao's neck without letting go, nestled in his arms and asked in a delicate voice.

"What should we do? Spend money on it. Our Guo family has plenty of money. Besides, who would dare not give us three points in Hong Kong Island?"

Guo Junhao has been complacent during this time, and now that his Guo family is becoming more and more powerful in Hong Kong Island, their next plan is to bring down the Zheng family and eat up the Zheng family's property.

Some time ago, Guo Junhao teamed up with another real estate tycoon to attack the Zheng family, making them basically unprofitable in a real estate project.

Their goal is to first loosen the foundation of the Zheng family, and then join forces to short the listed companies of the Zheng family in the financial market, and finally achieve the goal of acquisition.

All of this is very simple to say, and it is also an old routine, but it is very complicated to operate, but it is precisely because it is an old routine that it can be tried repeatedly.

Not long after, the auction officially started.

The person hosting the auction was a young foreigner with a tall nose and blue eyes, but Lin Fei discovered that he spoke fluent Chinese.

"Dear guests, ladies and gentlemen, the auction will start soon, please take your seats."

The host looked around the venue for a week, and made the opening remarks concisely and directly.

"Master Lin, you have taken a fancy to that piece, I will take a photo and give it to you, as a little sincerity from our Zheng family."

Zheng Xiangrong whispered next to Lin Fei.

Zheng Xiangrong was really grateful to Lin Fei, if it wasn't for this true master, his sister would have suffered a lot.

Now Master Lin will accept Qiqi as his apprentice, so we must express our gratitude to Master Lin.

"Boss Lin has taken a fancy to this stone, you can figure it out."

Zhang Yu was not polite to him, he opened the album directly, and pointed to the meteorite that fell from the sky.

"Oh, Master Lin likes to collect strange stones? No problem, this matter is on me."

Zheng Xiangrong looked at the price of the stone, 400 million is not too expensive, he thinks it should be no problem to take it.

Lin Fei's eyes flickered slightly, noncommittal. Although he felt that this stone was like some kind of natural treasure he had seen in the world of fairy dreams, he still had to see the real thing before he could be sure.

There were about 200 people sitting in the auction hall, and everyone gradually became quiet after hearing the host's opening remarks.

The auction went on quickly, and one piece of antiques and cultural relics were auctioned off, and the atmosphere in the venue became more and more lively.

It was the first time for Zhang Yu to see such a scene, and he felt very novel and excited.

But what makes him feel uncomfortable is that everyone in this venue is richer than him, and they can report millions and tens of millions at will, as if in their eyes, the money is not money anymore, but just a bunch of money. numbers only.

"Everyone, the No. 12 cultural relic that is going to be auctioned now is a work created by the famous European Renaissance sculptor, Donatello."

The auctioneer looked up at the participants at the venue. He felt that the atmosphere today was very good, and many cultural relics were sold at high prices.And this sculpture is expected to spark some competition.

"As you know, Donatello is good at figure sculpture and is the most famous sculptor in the [-]th century. His sculpture technique is very unique, and the figures he sculpts are lifelike. This work has a very high collection value."

The provocative words of the European auctioneer caused a slight commotion among those seated below.

"Okay, I won't say much else. The starting price of this sculpture is 2000 million, and the price will increase by 100 million each time. The auction starts now."

The auctioneer is also full of confidence in this auction, because he also knows the so-called golden and prosperous antiques in troubled times.

Because when the world is chaotic, most people like to collect hard currencies such as gold to preserve value, but now that the world is peaceful and the economy is prosperous, rich people all over the world turn to collecting antiques.

Therefore, antique auctions are very popular in various places now, and he and his auction company, Christie's, have also made a lot of money.

"Twenty-two million!"

Someone directly raised the price by 500 million at the venue below, calling for the first offer.

"Twenty-two million!"

Zheng Xiangrong, who was sitting next to Lin Fei, also raised his cards.

Zheng Xiangrong has taken a fancy to this antique for a long time, and he thinks that using idle funds to invest in antiques is also a good way to avoid financial risks.

On Hong Kong Island, many big families, including the Zheng family, invest a lot in this area every year.

"Twenty-seven million! Okay, this gentleman quoted twenty-seven million. Is there a higher offer?"

The auctioneer on the stage saw that the placards were raised one after another, and he was also very happy.

Zheng Xiangrong looked back, and it was Guo Junhao who quoted 700 million just now.Without saying a word, he immediately raised his card again.

Seeing Zheng Xiangrong raising his card, Guo Junhao lazily raised his card again.

Under the bidding of Zheng Xiangrong, Guo Junhao and several other contenders present, the price of this antique quickly soared to 600 million.

"Thirty-one million!"

Guo Junhao continued to raise the placard, he squinted at Zheng Xiangrong, waiting for his action.

"Thirty-one million!"

Zheng Xiangrong knew that Guo Junhao would definitely fight him, so he didn't bother to look at him, so he just raised his sign.

At this time, the venue became a little deserted, and only Zheng Xiangrong and Guo Junhao were left holding placards back and forth alternately.

Some people nearby also noticed that the Zheng family and the Guo family were fighting.

"Forty-one million!"

"Forty-one million!"

Guo Junhao didn't bother to talk too much, and directly called the price to 500 million.

Zheng Xiangrong's face was a little ugly at this time, and it was obvious that he had exceeded his reserve price if he continued to call, but he stopped calling, and felt a little uncomfortable being suppressed by Guo Junhao.

He was hesitating when he heard the auctioneer on the stage shouting excitedly:
"Forty-five million, is there a higher offer? Is there any more?"

While shouting, the European auctioneer watched Zheng Xiangrong's actions with his eyes.

As an auctioneer, what he loves most is seeing people fighting each other for an item, so that the price of the item will skyrocket in no time.

"Damn, it costs so much money for such a piece of crap, it's a fool with a lot of money."

Zhang Yu whispered beside him.Lin Fei also felt speechless. These so-called works of art were worthless in his eyes, but in the eyes of these so-called rich people, they became objects of contention.

As if hearing Zhang Yu's words, Zheng Xiangrong stopped raising the placards. Under the regretful eyes of the auctioneer, the sculpture was hammered down and was taken by Guo Junhao.

Guo Junhao didn't feel that he was at a loss at all, on the contrary, he was complacent. He felt that being able to hold down Zheng Xiangrong was a kind of gain.

The gorgeous woman sitting next to him also looked at him more charmingly.
